What is Linear Crosshatch SREF style

This striking style is defined by meticulous Pen and Ink Drawing, characterized by the extensive use of fine lines, hatching, and crosshatching to sculpt forms and render deep shadows with striking tonal contrast. It results in a highly textured, monochrome illustration reminiscent of classical master sketches. To achieve this precise look in Midjourney, ensure your prompt explicitly demands 'pen and ink illustration', 'hatching technique', or 'detailed ink sketch' to fully capture the disciplined, linear aesthetic across varied subjects like architecture or portraiture.

Linear Crosshatch Prompt Ideas

  • A close-up portrait of an elderly philosopher, intense expression, detailed crosshatching, pen and ink drawing, high contrast
  • Vast rolling plains leading up to a massive mesa, intricate line work for grass texture, black and white pen and ink sketch, highly detailed
  • A complex still life composition of antique navigational tools and a skull, dramatic shadows, finely rendered hatching, ink drawing
  • An astronaut discovering ancient ruins on Mars, atmospheric, pure line art illustration, utilizing directional hatching for shading

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
